My hard limit is 2. If you're an adult and only fucked one person then it's not a big deal and was probably either a serious relationship or horny teen thing. But by the second partner it's too much

What's the point in asking? She'll tell me she's a virgin, but if she wants she'll just omit the five guys and one girl before me because she didn't "love" them or something, or it wasn't PIV so it doesn't count.

The number of sexual partners is only a symptom of the kind of people they are. It can be very telling if they're in their early 20s and they have the body count of a pro football team, alternates and all, but that's the best hint you'd ever get. Really, you have to pay attention to the kind of person they are overall-- in part because you shouldn't expect truth from them regarding their counts, but also because you can be dysfunctional or unfitting regardless of how many people they've slept with.

Shouldn't expect honesty from a guy, either, but they're far more inclined to lie upwards, not down.

If she had sex with another girl, strongly consider taking your escape route. If she downplays it, defenestrate her.
 
Hard to say, it's the type of question you never want to ask your partner, or have one of your friends bring up during your weekly D&D campaign. What you want to watch out for is how long each relationship lasted, assuming it wasn't just casual sex, and if he / she has ever cheated.
It shouldn't be an uncomfortable question, but I get why it is and I find that unfortunate. You should be comfortable enough with your partner/prospect that you can talk freely about anything. Especially their previous sexual encounters. Kind of like a form of intimacy on its own.

Finding out about the details of their relationships and encounters is definitely the best way to get a sense of the vulnerability you can give to them. But from my own experience with sex and especially cheating, there's more grey than there is just black or white. I cheated once and immediately realized it wasn't for me. But it ended up being the best for everyone

I believe sex outside of marriage is degenerate, so anything more than 2 partners (that you were of course married to) is too much.

It's possible to make a mistake in one marriage, but if you have 2 failed marriages, don't try for a third.

My guess is that gay men would have the most partners followed by either bi-men or hetero women. I’d expect trans individuals to have less sexual partners on average, especially lesbian trans women.

What about anal? Can women have unlimited anal as long as the vag is limited to five different dicks max
In the US, the unlimited anal clause was rescinded during the Carter administration in an attempt to raise the birthrate. It was briefly reinstated (for six months) in 2005 when it was included as a rider on the Presidential $1 Coin Act.
 
The total amount of minutes you've lived after attaining the age of seventeen divided by 18.
Because you know, 5 minutes of foreplay, gotta at least make time for that.
 
Didn't read OP so I answered "What number of sexual partners is too much for yourself."

And no, I'm not telling. But you could probably figure it out.
 
We should judge this on an individual basis.
For example, if a short dude with no money manages to have sex with multiple willing women, that takes skill and hard work, he deserves credit.
An average woman can always have sex with somebody, might not be the best specimen but she will get laid as long as she's willing and others know about it, it's not impressive, you don't generally applaud that.

Quality matters more than quantity.
The LGBT have a ton of STDs that are almost non existent among straight people because the quality of LGBT sex partners is very low and they're very willing.
I'm sure there are some great catches but the average sexually active LGBT person (especially a gay dude) seems to be fucking anything with a hole and not caring about the consequences.
Based on that, looking down on them for the amount of sex they have is at the very least somewhat understandable.

Did that answer the question?
 
Whats more imortant to me than the number itself is the reason behind the number.
If I had to choose between one with a higher bodycount but believed it would last and worked hard for every relationship, or someone with a smaller number but was more casual about, did the whole "friends with benefits", "it's only an onlyfans" bit, the choice would be clear.

Having said that, once she can field a soccer team I get a bit nervous. If she can fill the opposing team aswell, then she probably have issues that is clearly above my paygrade.

Edit: spelling is hard.

Speaking from experience, it's better not knowing. It's a nice mentality to have but it doesn't work so well when you find out that the love of your life used to be the town bike. That information is only going to make you think less of the other person.
 
I think sex overall is healthy if you're being responsible about it. I said 10+, give or take some. In this day and age it's very easy to keep yourself safe. I'm more concerned with cheating history, length of time between partners, and whether my partner used protection properly and keeps up on their sexual health.

Assuming we're talking about high risk sex (can't get AIDs from a handjob lol), as long as my partner wasn't smashing randies in clubs or off craigslist or something and was choosing partners pretty discriminately, I don't mind them having had a few other sexual partners serious or otherwise. My thought process too is that if you had a new partner every so many years, I think it's pretty normal to have had 5-10 partners for most people.
 
She needs to be a virgin BEFORE I hook up with her, but by the time it's over, she should have a bodycount of at least 50. Preferably 100+. Who wants some frigid ice-queen, who won't let you pass her 'round the party, and let everyone take a turn?

Also, she has to be super-fat. You want a big fat slut- and the fatter, and sluttier, the better.
